As expected, the Michigan Wolverines took care of business to open up the 2023 season, dispatching East Carolina in a game that was never really competitive. That story should repeat itself on Saturday, as the Wolverines welcome (back) the UNLV Rebels to Ann Arbor in the second of three lackluster non-conference affairs.
UNLV enters 1-0 after taking down FCS Bryant last weekend. This is actually the second time the Rebels have visited Michigan, with Jim Harbaugh winning 28-7 in his third game as head coach. Of course, Harbaugh will again be suspended for this one, with Jay Harbaugh and Mike Hart splitting the coaching duties in his stead.
